The io/getppid.t test fails under a solaris zone. This is known by sun as being 
the case it is documented in the 2008-April.txt.gz file available from the net 
when searching for OpenSolaris perl 5.8.8. The fix is has been downloaded from 
www.opensolaris.org. but as this fix is difficult to locate I have included it 
below.

>How-To-Repeat:
Run bmake test on a solaris zone.
